Fortress Update. Dev Notes.
Lords and Ladies!
We have revamped the League Fortress.
It will now function as a new Castle constructed by your League Marshal to unify your forces and strengthen your armies. All fully-fledged members can visit the League Fortress. You can access 4 new League Resources, 7 League buildings, and new Fields of Knowledge. Fields of Knowledge are not restricted by the Fortress Level now, so you can get more Bonuses. The League Fortress also has more milestone levels - 5, 8, 12, and 17.
What's new in the League Fortress:
League Buildings. All buildings in your League Fortress are already pre-constructed and all fully-fledged members have access to them. Buildings must be upgraded to receive more bonuses. Only those Members who have Fortress administration rights can upgrade League Buildings. To know more about League buildings, read the section below.
New Fields of Knowledge. Form now on, you will have two Fields of Knowledge: Weor’s and Mara’s. Weor's Knowledge comprises the Fields of Knowledge you are familiar with, while Mara's Knowledge is completely new. You can discover and upgrade only ONE Field of Knowledge at a time. Only Members with Fortress administration rights can upgrade and discover Fields of Knowledge.
New League Resources.
You can access 4 new League Resources:
- Amber
- Taenite
- Ambrosia
- Compendiums
You can get new League Resources by converting the normal Resources from your Castle. Amber, Taenite, and Ambrosia are needed to upgrade League Buildings and Mara's Fields of Knowledge. Compendiums are also needed to upgrade Mara's Fields of Knowledge to the highest levels.
League Buildings
Resource Buildings:
There are 4 resource buildings, where you can convert Castle Resources to League Resources:
- Ambrosia Harbor: Allows you to convert Food to Ambrosia.
- Metalist’s Guild: Allows you to convert Iron to Taenite.
- Alchemy Chamber: Allows you to convert Gold to Amber.
- Sacrarium: Allows you to store Amber, Taenite, and Ambrosia, as well as convert Sketches to Compendiums.
LEAGUE RESOURCE CONVERSION
Every fully-fledged League Member can convert Castle Resources to League Resources. Compendium Conversions happen instantly, while the Metalist's Guild, Alchemy Chamber, and the Ambrosia Harbor have Resource conversion queues.
There are two types:
- Standard Conversion Queue: Has a conversion ratio of 10 Castle Resources to 1 League Resource. You can double the amount of League Resources after the Conversion starts by using Sapphires.
- Divine Conversion Queue: Has a conversion ratio of 10 Castle Resources to 4 League Resources.
You can occupy only one Conversion Queue in each of the Conversion buildings.
The number of Queues available for League Members depends on the Level of the Resource Building.
The speed of Conversion can be increased by upgrading the relevant Field of Knowledge.
After the conversion is finished, Resources automatically go to the Sacrarium. If the Sacrarium is full, the Resources will stay in the Resource building and League Members will have to transfer them manually.
Command Buildings:
- League Keep: The main building in your League Fortress is your League Keep. It doesn't have Levels, but you can upgrade your League Fortress here. You can also rename your League Fortress, relocate it, view your League’s Glory Points and Tomes, and garrison troops here.
- Bastion: Provides special Bonuses for your League, which can be activated by authorized Members for a specific duration. To activate Bonuses, your League must capture the required number of Level 5 Beacons and activate all previous Bonuses. The Bastion's Level is dependant on the League Fortress Level. The Bastion Level restricts the upgrade of your Sacrarium and House of Knowledge. Upgrading the Bastion increases its Influence Points and lets you access more Bonuses.
- House of Knowledge: Lets you discover and upgrade Fields of Knowledge, which give Bonuses to all League Members. You can only upgrade ONE Field of Knowledge at a time, and the Knowledge Level cannot be downgraded by attacks. Only Members with Fortress administration rights can discover and upgrade Fields of Knowledge.
What remains the same:
- Status of your Fortress: You will have exactly the same League Fortress Level, Tomes, Glory points, and garrisoned Units. Fortress administration rights will remain with the same League Members, unless your League decides to change it.
